Compelled to Stay and See It.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, August 3.-Dr. w.
III. Saundes, the physician appointed to
make examinations of locomotive engi-
neers and other railroad employees under
the state law, which went into effect
yesterday, abandoned his work at Ste.
phenson. He was arrested on writ OF
mandamus, which requires him to com
plete his test as to color blindness. His
reason for abandoning is said to be
trouble with railroad men who dislike
the new law, many OF them refusing to
be examined. Over 10000 are affected
by the law and it is estimated that over
5000 will be forced to give up their posi-
lions,

A large crowd assembled on the anti

II. Jackson, of GAINESVILLE, and Major
Joe Stewart, Of Austin, address them in
favor Of snti-prOhibitlon. Mr.. Jackson
was unavOidably absent, but Major
Joe Stewart was present and filed the
time in n most effectual and interesting
manner. He made a very strong and
good speech, and few who listened to
him would retire without having heard
such facts and incidents that would give
them powerful reason for the faith IN
them, and lead them to use all efforts to
deFsSt the prohibition amendment.

Seeds That terminate Quickly.

The human system is a fruitful soil, and
among seeds that terminate most rapidly in IL
are those Of rheumatism and neuralgia. A
slight cold, brought on by sitting in draught
wet feet or damp clothes, will develop either
of those abOmInable painful maladies with
unpleasant rapidity. The proper preventive
of this agOniZng vegetation Is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, medicine which nullifes a
tendency TO either of the maladies named, and
sOOthes the aches which they cause. Nor is IL
less effective as a remedy for rheumatism than
as its preventive, fact as amply attested as
any other relating to its curative properties
Mariners, miners, frOntiersmen, and Others
have ever faund a faithful preservative of
health in unfavorable regions, and a benign
remedy for malHrial disorders, and stomach
liver and bowel complaints. 1t is a fine pro-
motor OF appetite and capital tonic.

THE LAND BILL.
Its Probable Effect on the Irish
PeOple.

LONDON, Aug. S.-Now that the much
amended and often patched-up land bill,
formulated Ostensibly for the relief of
Ireland, is passed, it will soon be real
lied how far the tenants of Ireland are
benefited by it. The bill certainly eases
the solvent tenants, those who owe no
arrears, and especially under the reduc-
ton of rents that the bill contemplateS,
keep themselves square with their land
lords. But the poor peasant holders,
who exc ont hand to mouth existence,
and a Scanty one at that, are left in the
lurch by the same bill. There is no
provision in the bill for the relief of the
man who owes for arrears, and he must
still plOd on with his heavy burden OH
his back. All the good the bill can do
him he cannot appreciate, for the terri
bic debt must be paid; from that there
is no release. The very idea of the
whole measure is thus vitiated, for the
number it assists is small compared
with those it cannot touch. 1t is to be
hoped, but it is doubtful, that the lords,
when it comes to them, as it will do
to-day, Will admit to its already numer-
Gus clauses mutual remedial clause
which will confer some benefit upon
the unfortunate and hOpelessly in debt,
such incumbrance.
THE HOUSE OF LORDS
is perpleXed over the text of the land
bill as it came from the house, and the
members of that body foremostin push
ing the measure through fail to recOg-
nize in the amended bill before them
the harsk provisions they voted upon
few weeks ago, for settlement of the
differences between the Irish landlord
and tenant. Some of the noble lords
are inclined to be indignant at the
wholesale slaughter inflicted upon the
clauses of the bill by the house, and
talk loudly of proposing the restoration
of some of them, but as the tory lords
will now swallow anything in order to
return uniOniSt members to the house
there is no likelihood that the measure
will be further modified, amended CT
augmented. Some little discussion will
probably be indulged and few of the
Irish peers will probably give forcible
expression to their opinions, but as the
bill as it now stands is almost wholly
,unionist bill the matter will be dropped
after the dissatisfied enes have had an
opportunity to vent their indignation.

ARCHBISHOP WALSH.
His Views on Questions Affecting
Ireland.

Ireland.
DUBLIN, Aug s.-Archbishop Walsh
says in regard to the coercion act, he
does not regard it as political question,
but as one purely social and economic
one that concerns the domestic welfare
and the happiness of every household in
the land. 1t is quite certain that the
literal execution of the act would break
up every root and branch of the Ma
alleague and absolutely Stifle any
open demonstration of sympathy with
home rule. 1t is probably quite as much
on account of the unusually harsh feat
ureS as for any other reason that the
Irish NatiOnalists look upon it as a
measure that England would only fully
avail itself of as an extreme resort. The
archbishop, attaching only secondary
Importance to the act, and looking on
the amended land bill as removing a
large portion of the injustice of which
the farmers complain, augurs happy
prospects for the future. He thinks,
too, that in year or two more an Irish
parliament will again sit in the old par
lament house i'll Dublin. In the matter
of the evictiOnS, which the archbishop
asked to be stopped, the fact seems ap
pal1ing that for the three months ended
on July ,, 9,14O persons have been
evicted. Gladstone, he said, did not
want an appeal to the country this year,
when they were all as confident as could
be that Gladstone would go back to
power with a tremendous majority to
back him. The archbishop said he never
went to Dublin castle, which ais the
abode of the l0rd-lleutenant of Ireland,
except on public business, but he seemed
to think it was probable, in view of the
improved order of things, that he would
in the future visit there socially.

Got No Booty.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. S.-A bold at
tempt at train robbery was made on the
Pan Handle line on Sunday morning.
About midnight the switchmen in the
Pan Handle yards discovered five men
robbing a freight ear of merchandise.
They attempted to capture them. but
were compelled to throw up their hands
and walk away. Two or three hours
later, five men, supposed to be the same
persons who robbed the car, stopped an
outgoing train just beyond the city
limits. While the engineer and train
men were covered with revolvers the
cars were all examined, but the robbers
failed to find anything they wanted and
allowed the train to proceed OH its trip.
The robbers disappeared in the fields
along the road. None of them wore
masks. The leader was recognized as
notorious thief whom the police have
been trying for mGnthS to capture.

disposal of the 26,017 acres of land
heretofore claimed by the st. Paul &

originally conveyed by the general gov

were reconveyed back by the state to
the general government, and by re-
cent decision of the secretary of the in
terror are now thrown open to entry
only under the pre-emption, homestead
and timber culture laws. Thirty days.
notice will be given by the officers of
the Office here and about Sept. 10 they

forty acre tract in Sioux these lands are
all in Woodbury. and Plymouth counties.
Some of the lands are now rated as worth
$40 to $40 per acre. In all cases bona

preference in making entry, nearly all
